Chapter 42 The wind swept the dust and fell on the West Lake, and there were a few microwaves
On the West Lake, the Mu family has its own boat, and Mu Tingyu has always accompanied her father-in-law who came to Beijing for a few days, and she has also made a lot of explanations about what happened to the Mu family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"In the past few days, I think Mu Gong is also quite sad about this matter, but fortunately, it seems that it is a trivial matter now."
"What worries my father-in-law, for so many years, the Mu family, as the head of the guild, will inevitably make a big move, this time Xiaohai did something wrong and hurt people's lives, but he was also young and frivolous, and his uncle was also angry, but the Leng family used this as a threat, and they also wanted to find some money for the family......" Mu Tingyu did not accuse the other party between the words, but the words also included the Leng family among the villains who sought money, the father-in-law nodded, but he didn't say anything, "Hey...... People's hearts are like this, if there is anything that needs to be done, just open your mouth, and you must not delay the construction period because of these things. ā
"Father-in-law, rest assured, my uncle has expanded the acquisition in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and he is an old man." Mu Tingyu smiled, but in his heart he complained that the other party only knew how to force them to deliver on time, but time was not willing to relax at all.
"Who is that?" The father-in-law pointed to the boat coming from here on the lake, and a man with a knife in his hand looked at it with a vigilant face, but he glanced at it and hurriedly turned his head around.
"Tingyu, let people lean over and see who it is?" At this time, there are many similar boats on the West Lake, and sometimes some people take boats to and fro here, but it is not much, and there is nothing new in the eyes of the woman, but since the noble man opened his mouth, she can only do it. Almost at the same time, two people in the boat suddenly jumped into the water......
Since the Mu family took over the order from Shangjing, they began to expand the purchase of raw silk and other raw materials in Suzhou and Hangzhou in a few days, but the opposite is the continuous rise in the price of cloth in the two places.
"The owner, it seems that everything is going well now, that is, my Mu family, if I change to another cloth shop, it is impossible to gather so many raw materials and fabrics at once in a short period of time."
"It's just that if the price goes up again, other cloth shops will complain."
In addition to the Mu family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, there are indeed a lot of cloth shops, in the past, everyone's purchase volume is not much different, and the price of raw materials is also relatively stable, but this time the Beijing is urging tightly, and the father-in-law has been urging, in order to stabilize the other party, the Mu family has raised the price slightly, so that there are several other companies to raise the price, and the market fluctuations followed.
The old man sighed and looked at a few people in the room, "You are all the old people of my Mu family, I don't need to hide it from you, my father-in-law showed me the list of goods a few days ago, this time the transaction is too little, I am also forced to raise the price this time, I have asked Steward Liu to say hello to several large cloth shops, and they are all willing to cooperate, but there will inevitably be trouble in the future." ā
In fact, several people have already guessed that Mu Jiangping's approach is nothing more than to spread the risks and costs of the Mu family to several downstream dyeing workshops and cloth shops, so as to ensure that the list in Beijing also allows the Mu family to have room for maneuver, "The owner can rest assured, the reputation of the Mu family for more than 100 years, not to mention that it is still the head of the cloth industry in the two places, they dare not rashly oppose it." Listening to the words of a few people, Mu Jiangping smiled, he always had a faint worry in his heart, the house on the edge of the West Lake, during this time, was too quiet, coupled with the lawsuit in the state capital yamen, but it made the old man feel tired.
And at this moment, on the boat of the Mu family, Mu Tingyu looked uneasy, she never thought that Leng Xuemei, who had not been found for many days, would be bumped into by them like this, and more importantly, she was seen by the nobles who came to Beijing, and now the two of them talked in the cabin for a long time, now that the ship is on the West Lake, it will take a while to dock, and it is too late to send a letter to the family at this time.
The door of the cabin opened, and the father-in-law came out of it with a deep face, and then ordered the guards to guard the door, "Father-in-law, who are you?" ā
"Tingyu, don't think about it, she is useful to me." The other party smiled and didn't say anything more, but Mu Tingyu trembled, on the shore of the West Lake, someone in the carriage was holding a telescope and looking towards the cruise ship.
"Up?"
"Well, everything is going well, let's go."
The man handed the binoculars in his hand to the person behind him, and the carriage drifted away along the shore of the West Lake.
In Suzhou and Hangzhou in September, the weather is getting colder, the business of several cloth shops has become cold like this weather, the price of cloth in the store has risen a lot compared with previous years, the south is a warm and humid climate, but there is no need to buy many winter clothes, but for many years here is a rich place, extravagance is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, many people are willing to spend money on clothes, but in less than a month, the original two pieces of clothing money, but now can only make one dress, the rich are just that, The average person is really struggling.
"Why is it going up again?"
"No way, you go to a few shops, the price is rising!"
"In previous years, it didn't rise so much all at once?!"
"You don't know this, isn't there a list of going to Beijing this year, I have heard, the loom of the Mu family is day and night, so I still have to buy a lot of cloth from other families, so down, can the price not rise!"
The market's opinion of the Mu family has quietly changed, and it was originally a long-faced thing, but once their respective interests were touched, they were always unhappy.
At this time, among the Mu family, several people were also worried, only Mu Tingyu came back from the West Lake, the one who came to Beijing has now moved to the post station, and Leng Xuemei, who was brought back, was naturally brought over together, although Mu Tingyu also wanted to explain a few words, but the other party did not give her another chance, and she could only rush back to Qingyuan in a hurry.
"You mean that Leng Xuemei was actually saved by you by chance?" After listening to what Mu Tingyu said, Mu Jiangping was still surprised in his heart, the yamen and himself had been looking for a long time, but Leng Xuemei and those guards had no news, but now, the other party suddenly appeared like this, it was too weird.
"Uncle, it was too sudden, and I don't know what they said, but the change in my father-in-law's attitude must be related to this, so you have to make some preparations in advance." Mu Tingyu looked anxious, the old man's face was solemn, and he thought for a long time, "You will go to the post house now, and I will see people if I say anything." The woman nodded, and it was already dark outside the room......
